[Paraview] PVSB 5.2: missing modules and plugins after "make install"

[Cory Quammen]

Ben,

Will updating to the current superbuild master address the missing
plugins issue Michel is seeing? It looks like there have been some
minor changes on plugin handling in linux since
4ec37480a6f1ad39c9aa3168c2f0e6a1b0147b16.

Thanks,
Cory
